The most convenient channel is obviously downloading. If you have the bandwidth, download it, burn it or put it on a pen drive (or however) and use it. Downloading requires no requesting, has minimum latency and costs least for most people.

The other channels need more discussion. These are channels that we would like a user to follow. However, users really need to choose a channel depending upon their convenience. For example, a user might prefer to purchase media on line than request a Local Contact.

Free media

The media will be home made and does not need to have fancy labelling and the rest.

If a volunteer wants, he can use an on line vendor and send someone media too. This is will be called the Sponsored Media program (Distribution/SponsoredMedia). This is not to be taken as a separate program. (Only Free media volunteers have access to the addresses)

Donations

To be maintained by Susmit, Frank, Neville (the already appointed team?)

Used for sponsored media (see above).

Should the collected amount etc. be public? Ie, contributors should be able to look at a page to see the stats of donations?

Comment: I think that as we are dealing with money, we should be as transparent as possible. The first thing that people will wonder is how this money collected is converted to media, so we have to have kind of account records: incomes vs. expenses. Probably expenses linked to tickets. The second question may be is the whole money donated displayed? Shoul we print monthly activities of paypal account? Don't get me wrong, I am not saying some misuse of found has or will happened. Just playing devil's advocated. --Yn1v 19:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
